NLM Intramural Research Program
NLM’s current research emphases lie in two areas. In computational health research, the focus areas include natural language processing, clinical image processing, biomedical ontologies and information models, and clinical analytics. In computational biology research, topics include transcription, chromatin and networks; structure and function; sequence statistics; and evolutionary genomics.
NLM’s Intramural Research Program also provides exciting training and research opportunities for high school and undergraduate students and pre and postdoctoral trainees who seek to develop research careers in these areas. Visit the Training Program website for more information.
